The lysate was centrifuged at 40,000 xg for 40 min at 4 C. The supernatant was loaded on 5mL equilibrated GSTYresins (Genscript, China) and incubated with resins at 4 C for … | Get A Quote |
Microtubules form a major cytoskeleton and exhibit dynamic instability through the repetitive polymerization/depolymerization of tubulin dimers. Although microtubule stability should be precisely controlled to maintain various cellular functions, it has been difficult to assess its status in vivo. Here, we propose a tubulin fractionation method reflecting the stability of microtubules in mouse tissues. Analyses of tubulin fractionated by two-step of ultracentrifugation demonstrated three distinct pools of tubulin, that appeared to be stable microtubule, labile microtubule, and free tubulin. Using this method, we were able to show the specific binding of different microtubule-associated proteins onto each pool ... More
